Do babies get our 'tastes'?

[xxbeckyxx]

If a baby is breastfed and the mother never eats a certain flavour, would that affect the babies taste when it came to weaning?? Should you make a conscious effort to feed baby the things that you don't like so they become accustomed to other flavours early on?
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts/experiences

Hmmmmm. I don't breastfeed I ff but I guess what you're asking goes to ff babies too as obv they never get any 'tastes'. I have to say with having two ff babies and BLW them both neither have been fussy about tastes and foods. All you have to look at is my BLW journal to see that a ff Seb has no problems with new tastes and tries new things again and again

After I thought about it I was waiting for someone to say 'what a silly question', but you did it so politely!

I guess I'm only bothered because I don't eat anything sweet and I don't want it to pass onto Lizzie
